The Department of
Justice (DOJ) is shaking down state lawmakers to appease militants in the LGBT
community and permit "gender identity" to dictate which bathroom
transgenders use. They are distorting the law and arm-twisting lawmakers' to
advance their misguided and dangerous agenda.
President Obama's
sycophants at the Department of Justice have placed the LGBTQ
"bathroom" agenda in their priority protection program and are now
aggressively targeting North Carolina's recently passed HB2 law, the Public
Facilities Privacy and Security Act. The Act limits bathroom usage in public
facilities to a person's actual gender, not their "identified"
gender. The law provides common sense protections, although private
organizations are not bound by the law.
The DOJ recently sent a
threatening letter to North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory asserting that North
Carolina's HB2 is in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits
discrimination based on sex. The DOJ is now egregiously expanding its
interpretartion of that 1964 law to include "gender identity."
Employing draconian overreach, the letter threatens North Carolinians with
lawsuits and the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds
unless they agree not to comply with the law.
In response, Governor
McCrory told a Chamber of Commerce audience, "This is no longer just a
North Carolina issue, because this conclusion by the Department of Justice
impacts every state... something we've never seen regarding Washington
overreach in my lifetime."
Any state with similar
laws can be expected to be in the DOJ's crosshairs along with North Carolina.
It is both outrageous
and infuriating that Barack Obama would use the DOJ in such a blatantly
political manner.
NC Senator Phil Berger
said in a press release, "This is a gross overreach by the Obama Justice
Department that deserves to be struck down in federal court."
We wholeheartedly agree,
which is why Liberty Counsel has offered North Carolina state leaders our legal
services and counsel in that state's case since that state's attorney general
is refusing to defend the law.
Our legal team is
entrenched in the front lines of the battle to preserve liberty, life, and family
every day, including "natural" marriage and common sense privacy
protections. Our nationwide "Push For Liberty" campaign is rallying
citizens to push back against judicial tyranny the type of government overreach
the DOJ is now engaged in. And we stand against the coercion from corporations
which oppose the NC law, even though they are not legally bound to adhere to
it.
America's people of
faith continue to be the targets of our nation's radical secularists.
I know that you do not
want radical activists reshaping the moral, religious, and political landscape
of our nation. TOGETHER, with your help and God's blessing, we will continue to
engage and reverse attempts to turn our nation into a mere socialist shadow of
our former greatness.
